Up until 1999 there used to be an arena for course landaise in our village. They were falling apart and destroyed at that time... and this year the mayor decided to bring a mobile version to the same spot for the yearly village festival! I think it was a great idea to revive the old traditions.
Beautiful, Spanish inspired costumes
He attracts the cow to avoid her going for the guy who just jumped!
Concentrated fascinated children
The rope handler has an important role to play, making sure the cow starts from the exact right position
During the break, some Spanish dances!
A training instrument?
The adrenaline is for real. Sometimes the cow gets too close....
He made a run for it and barely escaped...
Look at his face!
It looks like he is too close but he made it. The closer the better.
